Italian coach Lippi has a good sense of Wansheng, and Wansheng's coaching results in Derby County and Manchester City are convincing, and the modesty shown in the conversation also makes Lippi full of good feelings.

Lippi believes that the young Chinese's advice on preparing for war will be very valuable.

Therefore, before the World Cup final, Lippi combined his own views and Wan Sheng's opinions to formulate a plan for the last two days of preparation, in which penalties became the end, and in addition, the training against French stars Zinedine Zidane and Ribery defense was also repeated.

Italy used nearly half of the training penalties and asked every player to watch the cuts of Zidane and Ribery playing well in the game, which can bring some reference value to the players' defense.

He then gave each player the task of defending separately, with centre-back Materazzi taking on the heavy responsibility of marking Zinedine Zidane after half-time.

For two days, Italy's preparations for the war proceeded in an orderly manner.

On the other hand, the French team is preparing normally according to the plan, Domenech has his own ideas, he believes in the team's offensive ability, and he is also sure that the match between Italy and France is likely to be decided in 90 minutes, so some small tactical cooperation has become the focus of preparation.

Of course, the training for penalty kicks should not be neglected, after all, this is the World Cup final, and playing steadily is more important than anything else, so it is very possible that the two teams will not be able to distinguish the winner for 90 minutes.

The French team did not spend too much time and energy on penalty training, Domenech only let a limited number of stars such as Zidane and Henry participate in the training of penalty kicks, even if the penalty shootout, it is difficult for other players to have the opportunity to play penalty kicks, this way of preparation is still feasible.

When the two teams were preparing for the finals, Wan Sheng was not idle, and he received an invitation from Xinlang Sports to explain the final game of the World Cup.

The bid for Xinlang Sports was not high. The cost of this commentary is only 1 million yuan, which is really effective compared to Sky TV's hundreds of thousands of euros, but Wan Sheng finally agreed, because Xinlang Sports is China's online media, and the live broadcast of the game is also free to watch, which can allow him to reach more Chinese fans and help promote his reputation in China.

Wan Sheng is also the first time to be a guest commentator for Chinese media, and he is still looking forward to it.

Xinlang Sports invited Wansheng in order to expand the influence of the webcast in 2006. In order to develop online live broadcast and attract more fans to watch, it is necessary to invite 'big names' to explain the game, obviously, in terms of football, there are not many big names in China. For example, those domestic coaches, or star players, are difficult to attract the attention of domestic fans.

Wan Sheng is a character of a different grade.

When it comes to football in China, Wansheng is also ranked in front of the famous star Hao Haidong. Because Wan Sheng has gone further on the road of football, although he is not a player, it is more difficult for a football coach to succeed than a player, and he does not look at how many stars there are in the world. And how many top-notch first-class coaches are there? Therefore, Wansheng is very famous in China, and Wansheng will definitely attract many fans to watch the live broadcast of the game.

Another point. It should be said that in the domestic media, this is the first time, even if it is a very influential CCTV, it has never invited Wansheng.

Therefore, Xinlang Sports attaches great importance to this live broadcast, and began to publicize it on various large websites two days ago, and many fans are ready to watch the live broadcast of Xinlang Sports when they see the news.

This is equivalent to a face-to-face opportunity with Wansheng, and no loyal fans will miss it.

Even if the signal of the TV set is a little faster than the live webcast, fans will choose to watch Wansheng's commentary on the live webcast, which is much more interesting than the rigid commentary of the TV station.

Wansheng served as the commentator, and the advertising effect was naturally very good, and it was even described as hot.

Before the official start of the game, Xinlang made a statistic that at least more than 60 million Chinese fans will tune in to the live broadcast.

That's a staggering number!

As a result, Xinlang almost regarded this live broadcast as a key event of the year, and all kinds of advertising, web backgrounds, and activities in the game were introduced in a short period of time, just to satisfy the fans who watched the live broadcast.

At the same time, Xinlang also used this live broadcast to earn some advertising costs, such as the pop-up small advertisements on the live broadcast page, a small page can be sold for a sky-high price, and the cost is almost comparable to the advertisements of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

As a result, the night before the game, in order to ensure that there would be no accidents, Xinlang specially increased the commentary fee from 1 million yuan to 4 million yuan, and the remuneration directly quadrupled, which also made Wansheng very satisfied.

At the same time, many advertisers and large enterprises also see the potential value of Wansheng.

Many people have always thought that Wan Sheng is just doing a good job as a football coach, and then he is very famous in China, but now they find that the potential value of Wan Sheng is too high, and the key point is that he has such a reputation, but he rarely does endorsements and advertising.

People in the know can think of Wansheng having an investment company registered in the United Kingdom, which is very clear, to put it simply, Wansheng can't look at a little money from advertising endorsements, and he doesn't need to waste time for a little income.

But big advertising contracts don't have to be!

For example, Nike and Adidas have been fighting to win Wansheng's endorsement contract, and Wansheng's economist Kevin Tagore did not refuse, but waited for the price to sell.

In fact, Wan Sheng is not willing to sign a big contract in sports now, because his influence is not strong enough, and the endorsement fee is difficult to compare with those football stars, such as Zidane, Beckham and the like.

When his personal influence reaches a certain level, it will be completely different, perhaps just the endorsement of sports brands can earn more than 10 million euros a year.

This is not a fantasy.

Before this World Cup, Nike had already offered a high price of nearly 4 million euros a year, which was almost close to his salary income at Manchester City, but Kevin Tagore still did not agree, he was very convinced of Wansheng's vision, so he expected that after the World Cup, the 'World Cup prediction' would make Wansheng's fame even higher. At that time, it is not surprising that Nike will come up with an extra 2 or 3 million euros a year.

Everything depends on this game.

This may also be a gamble on Wansheng's personal fame.

If the game is really like Wansheng's prediction, Wansheng may be sent to the altar by fans and bettors, otherwise his 'prediction' ability will be somewhat affected.

Wan Sheng actually didn't expect that he was just predicting a few games, and he would be in this situation, and the World Cup games that had nothing to do with him were actually related to his personal gains and losses.

But Wan Sheng doesn't care about any 'prediction' reputation, and even without this reputation, his coaching ability will not be affected.

That's enough.

All he cares about is football.

Wan Sheng is also the first time to serve as a commentator in China, and he also knows a lot of rules and regulations in China. There are still a lot of things to pay attention to in terms of public commentary, and he asked this question in particular.

The co-op commentator cautioned, "Just don't talk about politics. ”

Wan Sheng nodded, quite satisfied with this answer.

He hates domestic rules and regulations, he can't say this, he can't say that, and the game commentary can't be tendentious, but fortunately, he is very famous. The guest is also a live webcast of salary waves, so there are not so many scruples.

He is not a politician, but he has no heart to talk about politics, and he is not even too lazy to talk about Chinese football.

Then it's good to just talk about the game.

Soon the day of the competition came. Near the start of the hour, Wan Sheng was already sitting in the Sina live broadcast room.

The camera also began to shoot.

However, the live broadcast of the game was half an hour before the start, and Wan Sheng just chatted casually with the staff, and then it was almost after the game started. The scene cuts to the scene, where the players of the two teams are warming up, and Wan Sheng is sitting next to him. Just listen to the narrator introduce the background, history, players, etc. of both teams.

Finally, after all, it is about to start, and it is Wan Sheng's turn to speak, and he began to talk about his tendencies, "When I was interviewed by the reporter of "Kicker", I said that I would prefer the Italian team to win the championship! ”

"They asked me why, and I told them that I had a better personal relationship with Marcello. It's not a joke, it's my inner thoughts, when your friend is competing against a stranger, you always want your friend to win. ”

Wan Sheng's words made many fans feel a lot closer.

After that, Wan Sheng talked about talking to Lippi, "He wanted me to give some advice on preparation, and I said some of them, such as training penalties seriously, and paying attention to the defense of Zinedine Zidane and Ribery against the French team, which are very important, and I think they will be the key points that will decide the game." ”

"But it's more important that both teams get to the pitch and play"

After that, Wan Sheng talked eloquently about the two teams.

Soon the clock passed, the two teams were lined up on opposite sides of the pitch and the game was about to begin.

Both teams played as much as they could.

Nesta, the only absenteeism from both teams, missed all knockout stage games with a groin injury, while French substitute striker Saha was suspended for accumulating yellow cards and Italian midfielder De Rossi was on the bench after a four-game suspension.

It is also worth mentioning that this is Cannavaro's 100th appearance for the national team, making him the third Italian international to enter the "100 games of fame" after Maldini and Zoff.

The commentator began to introduce the history of the two teams, "In the previous 32 meetings between the two teams, Italy won 17, drew 8 and lost 7, scored 75 goals and conceded 44 goals, won the first 2 of the 4 World Cup meetings, but the 1986 1/8 final 0-2 loss became a watershed, that was the last time Italy lost in the knockout stage of the World Cup within 90 minutes. Since then, France have been unbeaten against Italy in all competitions, winning the 1998 World Cup quarter-finals on penalties. ”

"The last time the two teams met in a major final was at Euro 2000, when Italy were just 17 seconds away from victory, Wiltord equalised and Trezeguet won in extra-time with the 'Golden Goal'

In the continuous introduction of the commentators, Wan Sheng also lamented the attention of the game, which had more than 70,000 fans pouring into the Olympic Stadium and more than 1 billion people watching the live TV broadcast.

French President Jacques Chirac, Italian President Napolitano, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, South African President Mbeki, Austrian Chancellor Schüssel, and Prince Albert of Monaco all attended the battle.

These made Wan Sheng feel a little reverent, although he led the team to win the Premier League championship in a row, he has not yet led the team to stand on such a big stage.

Compared to such a big stage, the Premier League is really a bit of a small fight

"There's going to be a chance." He thought firmly.

The race started quickly.

France were a little nervous in the opening period, but Italy found a chance when Andrea Pirlo crossed to Totti. The Roman prince shoots into the net.

1:0。

In the opening five minutes, Italy scored the first goal!

It was a goal that made all the Italian and pro-Italian fans cheer their arms and chant.

Wan Sheng was a bit surprised by the goal, and the game in Italy seemed to be going better than expected, and he also roared twice, but then carefully analysed the goal, "Pirlo's passing is very accurate, he has the best level in the world in this area. Totti's volley was also sudden and unexpected."

But what people didn't expect was that Italy seemed to be a little unable to find their way after the goal, and they made a careless mistake for a while. As a result, between the 25th and 33rd minutes of the game, France scored two goals in a row.

"The ball is in! 2:1, the French team overtook the score! ”

The final goal was a penalty, when Franck Ribery took a long free-kick and Thierry Henry's header near the left touchline was crossed, and Malouda turned and cut into the box on the left rib, breaking through the bag between Cannavaro and Materazzi, and falling to the ground after making slight contact with Materazzi's raised left leg.

Argentine referee Elizondo points to the penalty spot!

Zinedine Zidane calmly fired a spoon shot that hit the lower edge of the right-hand crossbar and bounced inside the goal line. Another hit on the crossbar was picked up by goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

But the ball had already crossed the goal line before that!

2:1。

France's two goals in a row left many stunned, and the series of pre-match analyses were not important at this moment, and the French team played too well during this period. They took the opportunity, and that was more important than anything else.

'The Italians shouldn't have made that mistake, they deserve to be defensive.' Seeing that the French team scored two goals in a row, Wan Sheng analyzed rationally.

Now he's fully engaged in the game.

He commented on France's two goals. While thinking about what you should do at this time if you are Lippi.

At this time, the French team attacked sharply and was full of fighting spirit. Even if the strength is not bad, the hard work will definitely outweigh the losses, so the only choice is to stabilize the defense and stabilize the situation first.

As Wan Sheng thought, Italy stabilized its defense and no longer rushed into the attack, and the game entered a stable stage.

Until half of the second half passed, and the two teams did not score again, at this time Wan Sheng thought that his little butterfly was going to change history, remembering that Italy won the World Cup, but now the situation is dominated by the French team.

He had a kind of secret excitement, and he was worried that he would no longer hold his hands in the future.

At that moment, the situation changed when Camoranesi won a corner on the right, Pirlo curled the ball from the right spot, and Materazzi beat Vieira at the back post and smashed a header into the middle of the net from six yards.

2:2！

Italy tied the score!

Wan Sheng excitedly waved his arms high, "Gooooooooal!! Goal！ ”

“Goal！ Goal！ Goal！ Goal！ Goal！ ”

"The ball is in! Italy tied the score! Materazzi! Materazzi! He was the hero who saved Italy! ”

Wan Sheng's voice was passionate, and his roar was exciting.

Many fans couldn't help but get excited when they listened to Wansheng's words, and suddenly they felt that Wansheng was a lot closer.

In the past, domestic fans felt very alienated when they watched Wansheng, even if Wansheng achieved anything, he was still abroad, and they were far away, and when he saw Wansheng on the news, they were all photos taken by reporters, as well as some text descriptions, and now Wansheng has arrived on the stage of Sina Live, and his roar makes fans feel close and abnormal.

In the past, many fans were unfamiliar with Wansheng, but now they are no strangers.

Wan Sheng didn't know that his uncontrollable roar of excitement could bring this effect, he just took the game seriously and made a comment from time to time.

In the 76th minute, a very familiar scene appeared.

At this moment, Wan Sheng was a little stunned, the memories of his previous life came out, he seemed to already know what was going to happen next, but there was a sense of trance. It's like experiencing it for the first time.

Sure enough, as in memory, when Materazzi was staring at Zidane, the two seemed to have a verbal altercation, Zidane lost his calm, and suddenly his head was on Materazzi's chest, and Materazzi fell to the ground in response.

Referee Elizondo blew the whistle to stop the game, and the assistant referee did not see Zidane's movements, but slow motion was played on the big screen in the stadium.

Elizondo did show a red card!

At this moment, Wan Sheng was very emotional, if he stood in the perspective of ordinary fans in his previous life. He must have thought Materazzi was a wicked man, but now he felt that Materazzi was very great.

He sacrificed himself for the sake of Italy's victory!

No one wants to be a villain, and professional players have to care about their reputation, but in the World Cup final, victory is more important than anything else, and Materazzi chose to sacrifice himself to anger Zinedine Zidane, who will be saddled with a lot of infamy, but Italy will win the title because of it.

In the eyes of outsiders. Materazzi is a bad guy through and through, but in the eyes of Italian fans, Materazzi is a hero who can always be remembered!

All this Wansheng just sighed in his heart, and he didn't say it. The scene is only an objective analysis of the game.

Zinedine Zidane was sent off, and the French team had one man less, clearly occupying a huge disadvantage.

Zidane is extremely important to the French team, and the French team without Zidane is equivalent to losing the core. Having lost their souls, coupled with one less person than Italy, it will be difficult for them to contend with Italy head-on.

They chose the safest strategy - defense.

"France have to defend as well." Wansheng commented. 'Now the way they win is to drag the game until the end of 120 minutes, and then it will be decided on penalties to have the best chances.'

Domenech thought the same way, shouting out what to do.

In the next game, Italy had an all-round advantage, but it was not easy to break through the French defense, and the time passed little by little, 90 minutes, stoppage time, and extra time passed in a flash.

After 120 minutes, the two teams ended up 2-2.

They are close to splitting the winner in a penalty shoot-out.

At this time, the Italian players were full of confidence, because they had focused on penalty kicks before the game, and they believed that they were not afraid of France at all.

Sure enough, Italy had the advantage in the penalty shootout.

In the first round, Pirlo and Wiltord both kicked the ball in.

In the second round, Materazzi hit the bottom right corner with his left foot, but Trezeguet hit the bottom edge of the crossbar with a right-footed volley and hit the goal line!

2 to 1.

In the 3rd and 4th rounds, De Rossi, Piero, and Abidade, and Sagnor all kicked the ball in.

At this time, the level of penalties in France and Italy was also revealed.

Looking back at the penalty shoot-out between England and Portugal, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard both kicked the ball away one after another, while Italy scored four goals in four rounds and France scored three goals in one round.

But one goal is enough to decide the winner!

In the last round, Grosso hit the right side of the gate with his left foot, 5-3, and the French team lost the opportunity to play the last round.

Italy has won the World Cup!

"Congratulations to !! Italy"

"They won the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and they are about to lift the Hercules Cup, the top honour in football!"

"This is the fourth time in the history of Italy that they have won the World Cup, and this Italian team has lived up to the trust of the fans, under the leadership of head coach Lippi"

“”

In the continuous exclamation and praise of the commentator, this decisive battle of world focus came to an end.

The 2006 World Cup in Germany is officially over.

After the game, a lot of media coverage of Italy's victory, while Zinedine Zidane and Materazzi also became the focus of the coverage, and many believed that this was the turning point of the game, otherwise France would have a good chance of winning.

At the same time, many media also sighed, "This time he guessed it again!" "They were referring to Wan Sheng.

Wan Sheng has said before that he is more optimistic about Italy, and at the same time, he also said that it is difficult for the two teams to decide the winner in 90 minutes.

Sure enough, the game was exactly as he said!

In the amazement of Italian fans, various lottery winners, as well as other fans and media, Wansheng's fame has also soared.

This summer, there are many professional players whose value has risen a lot with the World Cup, and few people know that Wansheng is actually the one with the most rewards. (To be continued.) )
